ABSTRACT:
A combination burial vault and casket and funeral and burial method or system using the same in a funeral and burial service. An interiorly decorated "surround" or false casket frame having a hinged top is disposed over the base of the vault and cooperates with the interiorly decorated base of the burial vault to provide a casket during visitation at the funeral home. Carrying handle structures are provided for carrying either the assembled base and the surround or false casket or the assembled base and cover of the vault, with the remains of the deceased therein, to the cemetary after the visitation and funeral services at the funeral home.
In one practice of the invention, when the base and cover of the vault are assembled at the close of services at the funeral home, the surround or false casket with the carrying handle structures thereon is retained at the funeral home for reuse.
In another practice of the invention, the surround or false casket, assembled over and with the base of the vault, with the remains of the deceased therein, is carried to the cemetary, whereupon the surround or false casket with the carrying handle structures thereon, is returned to the funeral home for reuse.
The assembled base and cover of the vault are hermetically sealed prior to interment of the vault and generally U-shaped resilient clamping and reinforcing members are attached to the sealed mating marginal or peripheral sealing flanges of the assembled vault prior to interment.
